    I have done everything folks. I do not care about the files at this point. I believe the mistake I made was entering myself in each time as a user on four different computers instead of just signing in as the original Administrator from the first one. I did not understand the concept. Now I have too many PINs, Passwords, users attached to comingling accounts who are all fighting for rights as the user. SO......I would like to format C: and reload Windows 10 on the main computer and just remove or delete the other users on other computers.


    I am open to any and all suggestions and I would like to say that I do not have my Windows disk or software to allow me to reload it. I do have the product key that is listed in the computer though (thinking I could download it to a thumb drive fresh) with the thoughts of me just wiping everything.


    And just to let you know, Windows 10, Home. I have already recovered, removed, restored fallen back to a previous copy, tried quick fixes of registry, you name it and that's about it. My family would like to have the wife and mother back in their lives.


    Thank you.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Best gaming harddrive Sugestion ???

    Seagate states on their 750gb,32mb cache harddrive that the best application is video surveillance.(liquor stores,how very sad and completly overpriced for the amount of problems they have).Yet Passmark lists this near the top of their harddrive page.Any one have a suggestion for something that will last.(maybe samsung???)
    Also I was considering a Raidmax hybrid 2 sli 630w powersupply.Any thoughts on Raidmax??
